The Monthly Dried Egg Inventory Report has not been issued by USDA-AMS since the end of March. 

Apparently, the Agency has not been able to prepare either April or May reports due to withholding of data and “confidentiality concerns”.  This is an unacceptable situation since disposition of egg liquid, pricing, and inventory control depend on accurate and contemporaneous figures.

It is evident that with the collapse of the food service  sector in late February that surplus shell eggs and liquid had to be dried to facilitate storage. One presumes that by not disclosing the extent of inventory that price for the commodity can be sustained.

It is hoped that restraints to preparing a Monthly Dried Egg Inventory Report will be resolved.
